Nevermind, did a search and saw what killr said.

Its not a bad offering, but once price is included your not getting any real bang for you buck. I truly feel this line, is for Ferrari owners to "feel" like they are getting something special for spending so much on a wax. Swissvax was Swissol before being sued by Zymol. Supposedly they shared some product design, or thought someone stole it for the other. Who knows, but one thing is clear they are both priced at high end of the carnauba spectrum.
 
That's some expensive stuff!

Swissvax Concorso : $225
Swissvax Mystery : $550
Swissvax Onyx : $80
Swissvax Saphir : $130
Swissvax Zuffenhausen : $130

Hey, and guess what? You see that Mystery for $550? Well, it has 55% white carnauba wax and that's probably why it's so expensive. Or you can buy some Pete's '53 and get 53% white carnauba and get 15 tubs of it for $550!

Haven't tried Pete's 53 wax yet, nor 5050, but have been already satisfied with Souveran paste. Souveran ROCKS!!!:righton:

As offered prior, most chemist agree that 30-35% is about the maximum carnauba that can be used in a wax and spreadable. So measuring on all of these is highly suspect. What catches my eye is alot of the ingredients are the same of similar, thus could be a copycat wax at a 1/10 of the price.

I use Swissol Shield at times. Seems to hold up great against the bird bombs an insects don't seem to stick as much. Souvern is also great use it the most. Souveran is the bang for the buck.IMO Have not tried petes.

I really enjoy reading your thoughts on products, you tell it how it truly is.
 
I've seen pics...but between Souv/NB/CG 5050 I personally don't see a need for any other wax for my use.
 
I just tried Pete's 53 on my metal flake blue truck side my side with Natty's Blue, OPT spray wax, and the base PS that is three months old(long truck). Pete's was almost or as good as PS. I was really disappointed in the Natty's. Not sure if I did anything wrong but the reflections were not even close to the others. Now I need to try the swissvax just to give it a look see
 
I'd love to try swissvax concourso but at the moment I can't give meself a good reason to buy a wax thats almost as much as my monthly car payment. lol
 
I love Nattys in the fact that it's cheap, and easy on and easy off, but MAN you need to put about 3 layers on there for it to really work to its full potential and the durability is just not up to standards.

Weird, I had two coats of EX-P and two coats of NB last for months on my truck...I even had pics on here of the beading. I really can't tell a difference between it and Souv on dark/light vehicles...but CG 5050 I can as it has the depth/wettness/richness of those two but witha slightly clearer optical look. I did EX-Creme Glaze and two layers of 5050 on my biz partners black Lexus and WOW...I'd get pics but thanks to the water restrictions car is filthy lol.

Some people on here had good luck with NB and flakes, I used it on our silver car that has a ton of flakes and Souv and NB both muted the flakes compared to a sealant or something like Sig Series, but I personally liked that deeper warmer look the car had w/o the flake pop. Yet some poeple had good pop with those two so must be the type of color and certain flake that some paints have? AW sure as hell made the flakes pop though I'll tell ya that LOL.

Surfer are you using the AW over the Souv, NB, or Sig Series. Might have to give that a try.
 
Surfer, I do have to say that Natty's Blue looks very nice on metallics. I did that Volvo XC90 and got a very nice reflections off the silver paint.

For flats though, hmm, perhaps not!

thank you .... I try to be honest and hope you all consider my offerings. That said, if you dont spend some $$ and try it, and lets engage is an evaluation together (I am always ready to re-review a product and admit to error if wrong). Try to remember who was screaming Menzerna Polishes when everyone was still playing with DACP. English Metal Polishes is another, and yes I wish AG carried them all. :p

Swissoil, came with carrry bag and clay (yellow)and cleaner. I like the Shield. Souveran a close second. But for the price souvern is half the cost. Taken into acount with clay an cleaner.
